g'day

hi there,

Have been fishing around brisbane with my best mate for about the last year, and am looking for new spots. Have been hanging around the port, deep water bend, sandgate and the bris river at st lucia, but havent had too much success lately other than a bunch of eel's and catfish.

trying to get more girls into fishing, its a great thing finding a girl who can tie and bait her own hook.

hi hayles and welcome to the site!

for a bit of fun around the shores of brisbane i would try to rock wall at the mouht of manly boat harbour at night on an incoming tide. other places worth a look are shultz canal, boggy creek, newstead and pinkenba. other than that, the goldie and sunny coasts have many awesome land-based spots which are worth a go.

like death and taxes, there will always be catfish and eels. try fishing live bait such as herring or mullet as catties often shy away from livies. as for eels... i believe jeff f has a novel way of dealing with them! :laugh:

[rayne]

hi welcome to the site Hayles.x!

good to see another girl who enjoys fishing and can rig her own gear!

my wife hates it when she loses a good fish because of her knots failing!

she uses maxima pink 8lb mono and doesnt have many problems with her knots pulling now!

there's a few girls on the site but allot of them stay pretty quiet, but moast of the blokes have a wife or gf who enjoys the odd fish now and again so you should have no problem finding a few more fishing buddies here!

cheers Ian

G'day, & welcome to the site:)

Is that Kedron Brook Floodway in your display pic/avatar (same body of water as Schulz canal - just closer to the mouth)? Accessed from a path near the driving range?

Eels aren't a bad thing - I'd happily take them off your hands :laugh:

What bait are you using? Live mullet/prawns with a mono trace can get you some good fish around creek mouths, like some Jew

You could also try using some lures to target bream, jacks, cod, flathead etc.

Terry that aint no kedron brook lol thats sandy beach, not muddy wetlands.

[Angus]

Terry based on the photo gallery i think its deepwater bend. Not sure though as I have not been there.

Just out of curiosity have you been further up? Or perhaps to the spot I'm on about? It's somewhat sandy as opposed to the muddy banks in schulz canal.

welcome to the site:)

[brisbanebound]

I know what you mean. I spent the whole time in NZ tying hooks and putting bait on for my wife and her brother. Then they would get bored and want to go home. Frustrated the life out of me.

The missus brother wouldnt even hold a fish when he caught one. :-)
